Ottawa Charge Secure 3-2 Victory Over Minnesota Frost Despite Losing Star Goalie

Emerance Maschmeyer leaves game with apparent leg injury after historic milestone as Alexa Vasko's late heroics lift Ottawa's playoff hopes.

Emerance Maschmeyer became the first PWHL goalie to record 1,000 regular-season saves before leaving the game with a suspected right leg injury.
Ottawa Charge's Alexa Vasko scored twice, including a decisive short-handed goal late in the third period, to seal the 3-2 win over the Minnesota Frost.
Backup goalie Gwyneth Philips stepped in after Maschmeyer's exit, conceding a goal on her first shot faced but holding steady afterward.
The victory keeps Ottawa's playoff hopes alive, narrowing the gap to five points behind Minnesota for the final playoff spot, with two games in hand.
Minnesota Frost's Claire Thompson tied the game at 2-2 after a lengthy review, but Vasko's second goal secured the win for Ottawa.
